History

The name "Peacock Hill" can be traced to the 1800s, when a resident of the small hill near Williamsburg's central Duke of Gloucester Street actually raised peacocks.

Its most famous former resident is Georgia O'Keeffe, who lived briefly in a cinder-block house owned by her father on Scotland Street, near the top of Peacock Hill. Currently, Peacock Hill houses the College of William and Mary's Center for Gifted Education and the historic Matthew Whaley Elementary School.
